ESP E-II Eclipse QM STBCSB See Through Black Cherry Sunburst Quilted Maple Electric Guitar
The E-II Eclipse QM is built to handle the demands of serious gigging and studio work. Its set-thru construction and carefully voiced electronics provide a stable, resonant platform that translates reliably from rehearsal space to stage. The See Through Black Cherry Sunburst finish over quilted maple catches light and holds its visual punch under stage lighting, while the 24.75" scale and satin-finished one-piece maple neck feel fast and comfortable in your hands during extended sets. This B-stock example delivers premium build quality at a significant price advantage for musicians who prioritize performance over cosmetics.
Playability & Construction
The set-thru neck design locks in sustain and gives you consistent string response across the entire fretboard—critical for players who need reliable feel night after night. 22 XJ extra-jumbo stainless steel frets stand up to years of gigging without fret wear becoming an issue, while the 305 mm fretboard radius balances comfort and stability across all playing styles. The 42 mm nut and satin maple neck reduce hand friction and fatigue during long performances, keeping your technique sharp through the final song.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup combination cuts through a live mix with articulate highs and defined midrange—exactly what you need for modern rock, metal, and fusion work. The mahogany body with quilted maple top contributes natural warmth and resonance that rounds out the active pickup character, keeping the tone musical rather than sterile. The Gotoh T.O.M. bridge and locking tuners are workhorse components that hold tuning solid through an entire set with zero drift, essential reliability for any working musician.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is B-Stock, and does it affect playability?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a clear coat run and shrinkage on the back body and a tape mark at the cutout binding. These marks are purely cosmetic and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar carries the complete manufacturer warranty and is identical in performance to new units.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The Eclipse QM excels in metal, hard rock, fusion, and progressive music. Its articulate highs, muscular midrange, and extended sustain make it less ideal for jazz, blues, or folk contexts.
How does the 24.75-inch scale affect playability?
The 24.75-inch scale provides traditional string tension and feel while the 305 mm (12-inch) fretboard radius and 22 XJ extra-jumbo stainless steel frets yield fast, predictable string response across the fretboard. The 42 mm nut width and satin-finished neck reduce friction during fast playing and extended sessions.
What pickups are included, and how do they sound?
The guitar features an EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup—a classic active pairing that delivers articulate highs and tight, controlled midrange. The mahogany body with quilted maple top adds natural warmth and resonance to the active response.
Does this guitar stay in tune during live performance?
Yes. The Gotoh locking tuners and Gotoh T.O.M. bridge/tailpiece combination ensures rock-solid intonation stability with minimal tuning drift during performances.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $118 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
